"Rain, rain ..." Nevermind. We will just learn to live with it - umbrellas, rainboots, and all.

A few weeks ago, I shared the exciting news: our daughter Erica is having a little boy this summer.

Naming kids can be hard, am I right? You check off the list as you contemplate: How can the name be made fun of? Who will the name trigger from your past? How many relatives will have an opinion? What does it rhyme with, because middle schoolers think of everything!

Daniel and Erica settled on Graham, which we love. They also decided his middle name: Scott. Graham Scott Beamer. I knew beforehand, but when Erica told Scott by text, he cried; he is completely adorable. He said, "I've never had anything named after me!"

Had I known this was important, I could have named one of our dogs Scott. He didn't think it was funny, but I thought it was hilarious and endearing that he was so touched. Talk about pulling heart strings.

But you may wonder about the picture. Did you notice the sign? Maybe you should scroll back up. I'll wait... Did you see it? Yep, that's right! Delivery & Installation, baby! You pick, we plant! We are bringing it back this year at the Garden Center. Details below.

We roll with change just like the seasons. Now that we have amazing teams in all divisions (finally), we are offering this option again. I spoke to a client with a very small area yesterday and mentioned this; Nancy was so excited - "I will be your first customer!" We just love a willing guinea pig! We might be a bit rusty but this we can handle :)

We're rolling into spring ready to help you dig in. We are rolling this program out on Monday, February 6th!

If you've thought about tackling a small area but aren't sure if you can do it yourself, let us do the digging for you.

You pick, we plant. It's that simple.

This stately evergreen shrub has lightly fragrant white flowers that bloom in dramatic cascades. Temple Bells Pieris are fantastic for filling in dark spots in the yard while also giving a nice form.
